The remains of a sailor from Massachusetts who died when the USS Oklahoma was struck by multiple torpedoes during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 are being buried at Arlington National Cemetery on Monday.
FILE - This undated photo released by the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency shows Roman W. Sadlowski, of Pittsfield, Mass., who was killed aboard the battleship USS Oklahoma when it was attacked in Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941 during World War II. His remains, which were identified in December 2018, are being buried at Arlington National Cemetery on Monday, Sept. 19, 2022.
About 15 family members from Massachusetts, Texas and Florida are scheduled to attend the ceremony that was delayed by the coronavirus pandemic, said Joe Makarski Jr., who is Sadlowski's nephew and who supplied a DNA sample about a decade ago that was used to help identify the remains. Sadlowski, 21, enlisted in the Navy on July 31, 1940, according to the Navy's Office of Community Outreach.
The USS Oklahoma was among the first vessels hit during the Japanese attack on Dec. 7, 1941, struck by three aerial torpedoes just before 8 a.m. when many sailors were still asleep below deck, according to Navy accounts.
